When it comes to choosing your wedding cake, the variety is truly endless. There are many options when it comes to picking the details for your wedding cake, but none are as important as choosing your baker. Some bakers offer consultations to see if the couple is a good fit for the dessert they’re envisioning, while others offer a tasting, followed by a cake design appointment after committing to them.
